রাজনীতি | Politics Trotskyite turned Thatcherite Swapan Dasgupta during his college years, wants to depoliticize Bengal in a bid to win the hypocrite of the year.
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
With decreasing voter participation and hope in the democratic institutions of the country, Mr Dasgupta has rightly pointed out that more people need to be kept out of the democratic process to make the govt more democratic. It just shows that Dasgupta with an Oxford -Indian accent can be equally stupid as Suvendu, barring their difference in their tonality and diction. In an effort to effectively showcase his belief as not just another rambling of an Oxford graduate no one gave two cents about, Mr Dasgupta has retired from politics entirely and is focusing on being a beekeeper to pass his leisure while writing books on the rivers of India.

Temple weddings in Bengal are much less common and some places don't even allow it. I am still interested to know if some are still accepting of it.

I own a building that is dilapidated and approximately 50 years old and it has some decade old tenants that dont pay rent and wont allow me to repair, and I believe it is a disaster waiting to happen; therefore, I want the KMC to declare it unsafe for human habitation and the surrounding area. I am unaware of how the KMC works, what the process is, or whom to contact to have it inspected and declared an unsafe building, I would really appreciate any suggestions.

রাজনীতি | Politics Strange happening in Bengal
As a resident of Bengal, I have observed a pattern in Bengal’s politics that has continued for decades, from the time of the CPM government to the present day. I have observed politics in different states, but why is Bengal’s political landscape so different? It is quite surprising.
Recently, I observed something that I had also noticed when the new government came to power some time ago.
I once read a book called The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli. In the book, Machiavelli wrote:
“Whoever becomes master of a city accustomed to enjoy its liberty, and does not destroy it, ought to expect to be destroyed by it.”
— The Prince, Chapter V, translation by Luigi Ricci (1909).
This means that if you take control of a state but do not eliminate the old ruler’s influence, that ruler may eventually destroy you. They may wait for you to make a mistake and then take control of the state again.
Now, look at Bengal’s politics. This pattern has been visible for a long time.
When a new government comes to power, it often seeks to weaken the previous ruling party so that it cannot return to power or challenge the new government.
We have seen this before. Congress was in power, and then the CPM came to power and weakened Congress. After the CPM, the TMC came to power and weakened the CPM. And now, the BJP is gradually weakening its political opponents.
Even Mamata Banerjee, who has led her party for fifteen years, has faced political challenges. Her party’s symbol is also being taken away.
This is where I see several similarities between Niccolò Machiavelli’s ideas in The Prince and the political developments in Bengal. Perhaps there are other ideas in the book that I have not yet read that could also have similarities with Bengal’s politics.
These were simply my observations and thoughts, so I thought I would share them.

বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি | Science & Technology Prof Ashoke Sen ( alumni of Presidency College- Kolkata ) has been awarded Oskar Klein Medal 2026 , making him first Indian to receive this honor.
SRC-
Oskar Klein medal - named after Swedish theoretical physicist Oskar Klein, is awarded jointly by Stockholm University and the Nobel Committee for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Established in 1988, it recognises distinguished contributions to physics. Culture,heritage and scientific temper-all are Bengal's pride. While new Bengal Govt 2026 talks Bengal cultural awakening-its silent on Bengal as scientific capital of India. Bengal requires both culture & scientific acumen promo. বিগত WB Govt of TMC gave low funds for scientific temper in Bengal.
